15 players have played for England and have been transferred for £5m or more on at least two occasions, who are they?
NJS - March 7, 2006 07:15 PM (GMT)
Michael Owen, Les Ferdinand and Jonathan Woodgate.
Sod the rest :)

Erm... Rio Ferdinand, Chris Sutton?
Bill The Bloodless - March 8, 2006 10:55 AM (GMT)
Those are alright.
And oops there's 16 of them btw. :)
Also there's another Newcastle player, Neil.

Yep. :)
There's a current Man City player, at least one ex Man City player & even a Hull player (and no he did not play for Alty ;) )

Robbie Fowler?
I'm rubbish at these types of questions. :)
Sparkle Motion - March 8, 2006 01:41 PM (GMT)
That has to be David James then :)
Nick Barmby :)
Ex-City... Fowler.
Sparkle Motion - March 8, 2006 01:53 PM (GMT)
Andy Cole.
Emile Heskey.
Stan Colleymore.
CB
Bill The Bloodless - March 8, 2006 02:09 PM (GMT)
Fowler, Barmby, Colleymore, Heskey, Cole - yes. :)
James - no.
NJS - March 8, 2006 06:32 PM (GMT)
Are you sure Blackburn paid more than £5m for Cole?

David Platt :)
Peter Crouch ? I'm sure Villa paid a shed load for him a few years back. :ponder:
Bill The Bloodless - March 9, 2006 03:09 PM (GMT)
Yes to both Platt & Crouch, which I think males 13, leaving just 3. Two more ex Villa players and a Tottenham player.
Sparkle Motion - March 9, 2006 03:33 PM (GMT)
Paul Merson
Jermaine Jenas
Fangy and grrr - March 9, 2006 03:56 PM (GMT)
Well if those two are right that leaves another ex Villa player, Southgate ? :shrug:
Sparkle Motion - March 9, 2006 04:04 PM (GMT)
Afaik, Southgate has only played for Villa & Middlesbrough?

Paul Merson Jermaine Jenas |
Both right. :)
And the final player is...no one. I've just checked out the other player I was given which was Steve Stone and he went to the Villa from Forest for £5.5m but like a lot of players they bought he left for nothing.
So all done. :)
Sparkle Motion - March 9, 2006 07:34 PM (GMT)
I spent all afternoon trying to find the last one! :rolleyes: However in my search I read on some sites that Merson joined Middlesbrough for £4.5M and not £5M :shrug:
Hey ho :)

I could add that when we signed Jenas we were "broke" and allegedly the fee was 2 payments of £2m and not one of £5M :)
It seems trendy in the past few years to be a bit untruthful on fees.

No he was at Crystal Palace before Villa but I checked and Villa only paid £2.5 million for him anyway. :rolleyes:

Sorry, better than wo.rking though. :)
I don't know about Merson, I've read both 4.5m & 5m.
